1968 - On this night at 12:12 a.m. Ms. Cecilia Brewer and
five companions were driving home from work between Barkhamsted and
Winsted, Connecticut and heading west when their car's engine
started to miss and they encountered a silvery domed disc-shaped UFO on
the left side of the highway in a forest clearing. The object was at a
distance of about 150 feet, and had a cone of white light coming from
the bottom of the object. It also had a green lit, rectangular window
in the dome. They stopped to watch the UFO before it flew away, the
total duration of their close encounter being around 15 minutes.

Winsted, Connecticut Close Encounter - 1968

1968 - At eleven o'clock that night Miss Amato, a
12-year-old girl, heard a "bloop-bloop" noise outside her bedroom
window and looked out her window at the abandoned Winsted, Connecticut
railroad station behind her family's house. She saw a white egg-shaped
UFO, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground
beside the building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out
of the craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20
little men about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single
file and jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were
dressed in dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They
proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with
a hand over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups
on their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in
different directions and appeared to be interested in looking down
inside the building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at
this point and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The
building was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate
fertilizer. (Source: Donald A. Johnson, Flying Saucer Observer,
